– WHY STEEL

Why Custom Steel Buildings Are the Right Choice for Agricultural Construction

Agricultural buildings have a different set of demands than commercial construction. They need to span large open areas without interior columns getting in the way of equipment, livestock, or arena activities. They need to hold up to wind, hail, dust, and temperature extremes that would compromise a lesser structure in a few years. They need to be practical first — easy to maintain, functional to work in, and built to outlast the machinery and animals they’re designed to house.

Custom metal buildings using Butler’s precision-fabricated steel systems check every one of those boxes. As an authorized Butler Builder® — one of only two in Amarillo — A & S designs every agricultural structure from scratch to your exact specifications. Butler fabricates the structural steel components to those specifications, delivering factory-engineered parts that go together accurately on-site and perform as an integrated system for the life of the building.

For agricultural applications specifically, the clear-span capability of Butler steel systems is a practical necessity. Steel structures can achieve clear spans exceeding 250 feet with no interior support columns — essential for indoor arenas, large equipment storage, and any agricultural application where open floor space is the whole point. And Butler’s MR-24® standing seam roof system has a documented track record exceeding 50 years of weather-tight performance — a serious consideration in a climate defined by hail seasons and high wind.

– WHY A&S

Built for the Panhandle, by People Who Know It

Agricultural clients in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle have specific needs that require a contractor who actually understands the region. Here’s what A & S brings to agricultural construction:

Authorized Butler Builder®

A & S is one of only two authorized Butler Builder® contractors in Amarillo. Every agricultural building we deliver is custom-engineered to your site and use, with Butler fabricating the precision steel components. No catalog packages — your building is designed for your operation.

Engineered for West Texas Weather

Panhandle hail, wind, and temperature extremes aren’t hypothetical for us — they’re the baseline. Butler’s steel systems and MR-24® roof are engineered for exactly this kind of climate, with documented weather-tight performance exceeding 50 years in service.

Clear-Span Design for Open Agricultural Spaces

Steel structures can achieve clear spans exceeding 250 feet with no interior columns. For indoor arenas, large equipment storage, and working agricultural facilities, that unobstructed floor space isn’t a luxury — it’s a functional requirement.

60+ Years in the Panhandle

A & S has been building across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle since 1961. We know the local jurisdictions, the soil conditions, the subcontractors, and the site realities that affect agricultural construction in this region. That institutional knowledge shows up in every project we deliver.

Honest Pricing with a Drawing

We don’t submit a number without a drawing to back it up. Every A&S bid is broken down to standard CSI divisions — no vague allowances, no surprises after you’ve signed. Agricultural clients know their budgets and we respect that.

Full Inspection Management

A & S manages all on-site inspections through completion on every project. On design-build agricultural projects, we also manage permitting. You’re running an operation — you shouldn’t have to track down an inspector on top of it.

– FAQS

Common Questions About Agricultural Building Construction

Can A & S design an agricultural building from scratch, or do I need to bring plans?

A & S can take your project from concept to completion through our design-build delivery method. If you have a vision for your agricultural facility — the size, the use, the site — we’ll develop the design, handle permitting, and build it under one contract. You don’t need architectural plans before contacting us. If you do have plans, we’ll price and build from them. Either way works.

Can A&S build a combined living quarters and agricultural facility?

Yes. A&S has built combined agricultural and living quarters facilities — like the Weems Cattle Co. project, which included both equipment storage and living quarters in a single structure. Combined facilities are a practical solution for ranch operations that need on-site housing for ranch hands or owners alongside functional agricultural space. Bring us your concept and we’ll develop the design from there.

Do you work on agricultural projects outside of Amarillo?

Yes — agricultural construction is one of the project types we most regularly deliver across the broader Panhandle region. We serve ranches, farms, and agricultural operations throughout the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle, including rural areas well outside of Amarillo proper. We’ve built agricultural projects in remote Panhandle locations where logistics and subcontractor coordination require extra planning — that’s part of the work, and we manage it. If your operation is in the Panhandle, reach out.

How large of an agricultural building can A & S deliver?

Our typical project range is $250,000 to $7 million, which covers everything from a single horse stall addition to a large-scale indoor arena or multi-bay equipment storage facility. Steel clear-span construction can achieve spans exceeding 250 feet with no interior columns — so the answer to how big we can build is largely determined by your site and your budget, not by structural limitations. We’ll give you a realistic assessment during the site visit.

What is the best building material for agricultural structures in the Texas Panhandle?

For the vast majority of agricultural applications in the Panhandle — arenas, equipment storage, horse stalls, ranch facilities — custom steel is the best choice. Steel buildings can achieve the large clear-span spaces that agricultural use requires, hold up to Panhandle weather conditions including high winds and hail, and require significantly less ongoing maintenance than wood-framed construction. A & S is an authorized Butler Builder®, which means every steel agricultural building we deliver is custom-engineered to your specifications with precision-fabricated Butler components. We’re not selling a catalog building — we’re building yours.
